Vantaggi
Being a driver for PODS can be a fun experience; you meet interesting customers who are generally blown away by PODS equipment and our ability to get difficult jobs done, and you get to go to many cool places. Sometimes it's like getting to take a ride in the country on somebody else's dime.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately, PODS is a predatory employer taking full advantage of the tight labor market. While they demand professional level performance, they compensate at absurdly low levels. Never accept any verbal agreements from this company; if they tell you what you will "start" at, trust me, you have just locked yourself in at your starting level. They do not honor seniority, and may keep you at "part time" status to avoid paying benefits regardless if you are working "full time" hours, or not. Also, their equipment is junk. Truck breakdowns are constant, resulting in many irate customers because of late or missed deliveries. Fortunatley, the driver is able to placate most of these customers, but not all. In todays labor market, this is not a bad place to land while you look for other work, but is not a career option for anyone with anything going for themselves.
